Product Description

With smells of brown sugar and dried peach in the dry fragrance, Biftu Gudina has all the markers of a lovely Western Ethiopia coffee. The wet aroma is surprisingly more subdued than dry fragrance, at least when it comes to fruited smells. Expect more of a cooked sugar sweetness with flecks of baking spices in the wetted crust, which are still quite alluring. But stone fruit flavors are a central component in the cup. I pick up on flavor aspects of canned peaches, natural dried apricots, fruited flavors with heft rather than of the more delicate nature that we might taste in coffees from Ethiopia's southern regions (Yirga Cheffe, Guji Zone, etc). There's a root like flavor too, with the herbal character of sarsaparilla and root beer sodas. Flavor notes of chocolate syrup, apricot and orange marmalade are distilled into an inky and delicious espresso shot too.
